wherein the post-processing device extends in parallel with an output shaft of the engine, the heat shield plate is disposed between the hood and the post-processing device, and at least a portion of the heat shield plate is disposed in a center of a lower side of the hood, and the heat shield plate covers an upper surface of each of the engine and the post-processing device.
2. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a driving shaft of a wiper configured to perform a wiping operation for a windshield covering a front surface of a cabin installed in the working vehicle is covered by a rear portion of an upper surface of the hood in front view.
3. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a hood shield plate that is disposed on a rear surface side of the hood, and is configured to cover at least a rear surface of the post-processing device, wherein a gap is provided between the hood shield plate and the heat shield plate.
4. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the post-processing device is configured to remove particulate matter in the exhaust gas.
5. The working vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the post-processing device is further configured to reduce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon in the exhaust gas.
6. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the post-processing device comprises a diesel particulate filter.
7. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein:
the post-processing device comprises an exhaust gas purification device; and
the exhaust gas purification device comprises an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet.
8. The working vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the exhaust gas inlet is open downward and the exhaust gas outlet is open upwards.
9. The working vehicle according to claim 7 , further comprising an exhaust pipe connected to the exhaust gas outlet.
10. The working vehicle according to claim 9 , further comprising:
an operating seat; and
a hood shield plate positioned between the operating seat and the post-processing device; and
wherein the exhaust pipe extends from the post-processing device toward the operating seat and past an edge of the hood shield plate.
11. The working vehicle according to claim 10 , further comprising:
a hood support bracket coupled to a surface of the hood shield plate, the surface of the hood shield plate facing a rear surface of the post-processing device; and
wherein the hood is coupled to the hood shield plate via the hood support bracket.
12. The working vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the post-processing device and the exhaust pipe are arranged side by side in a lateral direction such that the post-processing device covers a left side of the upper surface of the engine and the exhaust pipe covers a right side of the upper surface of the engine.
13. The working vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein:
the post-processing device and a portion of the exhaust pipe are arranged side by side such that the post-processing device is parallel to the portion of the exhaust pipe; and
the heat shield plate covers an upper surface of the portion of the exhaust pipe.
14. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the heat shield plate covers an entirety of a portion of an upper surface of each of the engine and the post-processing device in a left-right direction.
15. The working vehicle according to claim 14 , wherein the heat shield plate comprises a left and right edge fixed to a pair of left and right beam frames.
